2.4. Compiling and Simulating the Design
The design example testbench simulates your generated design.
- Change the working directory to <example_design_directory>/ed_sim.
- Run the simulation script for the simulator of your choice.
Table 6. Testbench Simulation Scripts Simulator File Directory Command VCS* <variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim sh run_vcs.sh VCS* MX <variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim sh run_vcsmx.sh ModelSim* <variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim source run_mentor.tcl Note: source evaluates a file or resource as a Tcl script (Tools - Tcl - Execute - Macro).QuestaSim* - When the simulation is complete, you can now analyze the results and verify the design. A successful simulation ends with the following message, "Test Passed."
